Melvil Dewey created the Dewey Decimal System that basically categorized information and put them into specific labels. While John Dewey's whole thing goes against that and tries steering up away from that compartmentalized mindset. #hwa2 #thetwodeweys

Mcluhen flips the quote to show even that quote is caught up in fragmention. He wants to show the limits of critique when the critique accepts it as the norm. #hwa2 #flippingdewey

3. A medium that's invisible to me is my phone. I would say I think of it as an extension of myself as I rely on it for so many things and to access so much that I forget that it is even there. An anti-environment would be not using my phone or switching to a flip phone #hwa2 #normalmedium

The two Deweys are John and Melvil. Melvil invented the Dewey decimal system. He turnt everything into data points. John wanted to remind us humans are not decimal points however he still got caught in fragmentation. They are important as they show fragmentation effecting people #hwa2 #thetwodeweys

this example is probably the closest it gets to an average social media doom scroll moment on paper. the random distractions while ALSO being within in a distraction is the epitome of modern day social media #mediafunhouse #hwa2

#hwa2 #thinkinginparts "When we focus only on content, we lose sight of how the form reshapes our attention, emotion, relationships, and even time."

2. I'm pretty sure you meant that McLuhan wants us to notice that the "water we're swimming in" is the massive influence that the media has on us as compared to just "decoding" or discovering something that the media gives to us. That way we understand the media is more than info. #hwa2 #thewater

#hwa2 #flippingdewey to show how thoughtful critique can miss a pattern if it is remaining inside old logic.

It most certainly resonates. I have opened youtube or tiktok with something in mind I wanted to watch and end up never even watching it because im watching something else and get stuck on it, not even remembering why I opened the app to begin with. #hwa2 #mediafunhouse

1. When you talked about McLuhan's text being the reflection of what media actually is I was pretty confused. I'm still kind of confused with the concept but I'll get there lol #hwa2 #forrealthough

#hwa2 #thetwodeweys First, they are often confused, so it is important to show they are different. Melvil advocated for division, while John didn't. Still, John's environment still made him subconsciously advocate for fragmentation. In 209, it should make us aware of how our environment impacts us.

Yeah I saw it and said not a chance. #hwa2 #justkeptgoing

Amateurs can offer the willingness to fail and be wrong. The ability to see patterns that the expert can no longer see. The Oppenheimer quote is great at showing this in effect. I would still rather be the expert as amateurs who make a difference are rare. #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert

When the media evolves from an outlet of expression to what shapes human thought and behavior people forget that it's a corporation that preys off of interaction and human expression and thought. Kind of like a parasite #hwa2

well... that's some work #justkeptgoing #hwa2

A media enviroment is a tiktok post where things are perfect with audio that keeps you hooked. Whereas the anti-enviroment is the video with selfies that are weird looking or the video that exposes the audio thats keeping you hooked. They cause us to ask what does this mean? #hwa2 #antienviromental

This example does resonate with me because I feel like when you open any media app, there are so many distractions and things not relating to what you are using the app for and it cause you to forget what you were looking for an to continue aimlessly scrolling #hwa2 #mediafunhouse

being an amateur is freeing and pure #amateurvsexpert #hwa2

amateurs are able to see things with a complete fresh and unpainted perspective which is impossible for experts + they have nothing to lose so anything they say or question is out of pure an genuine intention while experts have some reoccurring biases despite what they claim #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert

I really didn't want to memorize those surreal images in McLuhan #hwa2
